Communication
EE755

This is an advanced course on coding theory, which is a sequel to EE621. We continue with more in-depth treatment of LDPC and turbo codes followed by some recent developments in coding theory including rateless codes and dirty paper coding. Topics covered are: codes on graphs, message-passing, irregular LDPC code ensembles, density evolution, concentration theorem, stability condition, thresholds, capacity-achieving sequences for BEC, EXIT chart, EXIT function and area theorem, multi-edge type LDPC codes, LDGM, rateless, LT, and Raptor codes, efficient encoding for LDPC codes, Code design in Euclidean space, coding and shaping gains, lattice strategies for coding, dirty paper coding.

This course is designed to lecture nonlinear optical phenomena in optical fiber and their applications including effects on optical communications. The course will start with general concepts of nonlinear optics and wave propagation in an optical fiber.

Wave
EE758

This course provides a broad introduction to optical networks. We review the fundamentals of optical communication technologies, the optical circuit and packet network technologies, and all optical packet switching networking. Topics include optical fiber system, optical networking technologies, PON, WDM networking, IP over WDM, OPS/OBS, and optical layer management technologies. (Prerequisite: EE441, EE520, EE527)

 

This course will cover advanced device physics of MOSFETs and their ultimate scaling. Recent trends such as a new device structure and a new material will be introduced, and various types of memory devices as an example of detailed applications are also covered. Through a depth of study in quantum effects, reliability issues, and modeling, this course can provide core knowledge of next device technologies and a chance to explore new applications. (Prerequisite: EE362, EE561)

In this course, basic principles, applications, and recent issues in front-edge nanoelectronic devices such as RTD, FinFETs, nanowire MOSFETs, Carbon nanotubes, Graphene nano-ribbons, quantum dot, and spin-based devices will be covered. This course consists of theoretical consideration of the subjects and practical on-line simulation sessions using existing tools. (Prerequisite: EE565)
